The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) vice presidential candidate, Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, has reaffirmed his firm belief that the country shall remain one indivisible entity despite the attempts by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to balkanise it.

In the same breath, Okowa, who is the incumbent governor of Delta State, assured Nigerians that the mission and vision of the PDP and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, was to ensure that Nigeria remains united.

Okowa spoke on Sunday in Sokoto State where he received scores of bigwigs of the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who brought hundreds of their followers in a swift move to dump their party and join the PDP.

“PDP as a party,” Okowa noted, “is a family that stands on the side of truth for Nigeria, unlike APC that wants to scatter it.”

Emphasising that: “It is time to rescue our country and rebuild it,” he recommended that: “the rebuilding process has to start now. It is not for the Governor (of Sokoto state) alone. All of us have to work together to recover this country from those who want to destroy it.”

He pointed out that “there are some people, not in the PDP, who want to contest elections, but they don’t believe in one Nigeria. Nigeria can never be destroyed.

“I bring greetings from our leader and your son; our Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. He asks me to tell you that next year, when he would have won the election, that he would start to rebuild this nation and ensure that wherever you are from, we are one people.”

Turning to his mission as the PDP presidential running mate, he said it is the same as that of his party and Atiku.

“In my state I have people from Sokoto, Jigawa, Katsina, Yobe, Borno… and we live and work together as one. Go and ask them. We don’t discriminate against them, because we believe in one Nigeria. And, we know that you also believe in one Nigeria.

“Unfortunately, APC has tried to divide our nation,” he stressed, noting that the ruling party has only foisted insecurity, ASUU strike, unemployment and many other problems on the country, which it must be rid of before it can progress.

So, for him, “Nigeria needs a man with experience and knowledge, who is ready to rescue it. Atiku is the right man,” he offered, as “the APC government has failed us.”

To the defectors to PDP, whom he thanked profusely, he said “we are bringing back our brothers who have seen the light: and, “we will work together with you and ensure that the greatness of the nation is restored.”

In his remarks, Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal re-emphasised his commitment to the success of the PDP, Atiku and Okowa in all the forthcoming 2023 elections.

“We shall, collectively, by the grace of God, run a synergy towards delivering our candidate and his running mate; God willing, as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Vice President, come Feb. 2023.

“We are determined to work for the future of our party at all levels. I appeal to members of the party to accept our brothers and sisters who have returned home as integral part of the (PDP) family in Sokoto state,” the host governor appealed.
